You're not correct. But often polygons have been fused to other nodes and it
is tricky to select them. Ctrl-middle-mouse-button in JOSM gives you access
to a more detailed selection.

If you need to do extensive changes, you may want to "unglue" the polygon
from the underlying nodes; this operation duplicates the nodes which will
have to be moved "manually".
